Saturn's moons

Hi all,

I have been trying to take advantage of Saturn and Jupiter both being pretty much at zenith after sunset from our location.

I was happy as a child on Christmas when for the past two nights I could see Dione and Tethys. Two very faint pinpoints very close to Saturn. Rhea and Titan were quite obvious. I think I also might have gotten Iapetus, but not 100% sure with this one and would need to check again on following nights.

Rig: 105mm refractor, 5mm and 3.5mm eyepieces and a manual alt-az.
